Cannot backup pst file

When I try to copy my personal folders pst file to a jump drive I get a
message that reads "Cannot copy outlook" the process cannot access the file
because another process has locked a portion of the file." Outlook is closed
when this happens. How can I remedy this? Thanks for your helpo.

Correction. Outlook is not closed. Something is keeping it open. Look in
Task Manager if you don't believe me. Recall the things that keep Outlook
from exiting completely:
1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. Franklin-Cover Plan Plus!
3. COM Add-ins.
4. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
5. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.
6. Windows Search has not finished indexing your data file.

Perhaps you have a desktop search, or some other third party tool accessing
the data file

Thanks. I did look in Task Manager, and under the Processes tab I see
Outlook.exe. Should I click on "end process"?
I did close sync software for my Blackberry, and the desktop mgr for same.
Don't have Franklin Covey.
I'll try it again after closing Norton and see what happens.
Do you know how I would determine if I have mail reminder add-ins ... not
sure what that is. Also don't know how to determine if I have COM add-ins.
Thanks for your help!

DL - thanks for your reply. I had said it didn't help, but actually now
realize that your answer was the same as the earlier one from RV. I just
need more specifics as I'm a novice. Thanks ..

You've already found 3 very likely culprits. Try those first.
How to check for add-ins depends on your version which you did not post.

Thanks Russ. I turned off all the Norton screens, etc. - still cannot copy
the .pst file. Also, no help when I closed the Blackberry sync program and
turned off my Blackberry (when I did that is also when I checked the Task Mgr
to see if Outlook was still running. It was not listed in the "applications"
tab, but a file named "outlook.exe" as listed in the "processes" tab.).
The version I have is Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager.
Thanks so much for your help. Jim

If Outlook is fully closed, it will not be shown in the Task Mgr "processes"
tab. You should try to end the process, forcing it to close properly and see
if you can copy the "pst" file then. Having it not listed in the
"applications" tab but listed in the "processes" tab is what you get when
Outlook is just minimized and hidden.

That's axiomatic. But if he doesn't figure out what's keeping Outlook from
closing, the problem will persist.

Yes, I agree but the OP asked about ending the process twice and did not get
an answer. He was clearly uncertain about doing that. Also, it would enable
the OP to undertake his backup and having to do that one thing before each
backup would not be ideal but would at least be useable.
There used to be an Outlook addin that forced Outlook to close properly but
I cannot remember its name or source.

Several in this news group speak highly of Primopdf, a free program that
will create a pdf file from any program. It installs as a printer and when
you have the Publisher file open, select File, Print and then from the
printer drop down menu, select PrimoPDF and it makes a copy of you Publisher
file to a PDF file.

I'm guessing you have a pdf reader/viewer. If not, a new excellent viewer

Executing specific files at a certain time of the day.Do you know of any software that can be programmed to
launch certain files at certain times of the day?
For example:
At 9:00am it will execute 900am.exe and at 9:30am it will
execute 930am.exe and so on.
I am looking for any software or custom program that can
launch any file I choose at the time that I choose.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give,
Mike
You can use scheduled tasks, which is provided by windows, on the control
panel.

VBA: Open Most Current File In Specified FolderI'm setting up a module that will grab a specific .xls and organize it
for production as well as load the information into Crystal for
archiving. In the past, I have always directed the user to save
the .xls as "AnyFileName" in a specific folder and the module would
pick it up at a scheduled time. This has me relying on the user to
not make any mistakes in naming the file.
Is there a produre in VBA that will open the most current file in a
specified folder?
The macro below should work OK.

Does Outlook's Auto Archive Always APPEND TO or OVERWRITE a Previous Backup?I ask because in another thread it was stated that auto-archive always
appends, but lots of advice on multiple sites caution the user that it
always over-writes. If it always appends, then I can use it. If it always
overwrites, I can't. I think this is a very important distinction for the
user and thus we should know one way or the other which is true append or
over-write.
Thanks.
Yes, it always appends, because it is adding individual items to the =
folders in the archive .pst file, not overwriting that file.=20

Populate a .eml fileIs it possible to use mail merge in a .eml file using outlook? By this I
mean, could I have outlook
1.Automatically email, say, ten different addresses, unattended by me and
2. Populate fields within the body of the email, based on a database or
excel spreadsheet?
Thanks, Ike
It sounds like you are talking about a mail merge, and no, you cannot run
one unattended.

Group Policy BackupIs there a way that a Group Policy Object can be backed up on a Server Core

GPMC delivers Scripts you can use to back them up. You can also download
them seperately:

backup to a file?hi, can I backup my exchange 2003 to a file (instead of backing up to a tape
drive)?. I will then copy the file to elsewhere. Our exchange server is in a
different (distant)location and for some reason the tape drive is not workng.
So until that gets resolved, I need to have some other way.(temporarily)
I am referring to the 'file' destination option in windows backup. Is this
possible and also, will doing this cause any issues while restoring?(if
needed)
thanks!!!
Yes. Just specify a path and ntbackup will create you a bkf file which you
can copy whereever.

Great Plains BackupIs it possible to schedule a GP backup? If yes how can this be done?
﻿You can schedule backups for system and company databases to occur on the
days and the times that you specify. Only a system administrator can open the
Schedule Backup window to schedule database backups.
To schedule a database backup:
1. Open the Schedule Backup window.
(File >> Backup >> Schedule button)
﻿2. Enter a name for the schedule.
3. ﻿Select the company to back up. The path where the database will be
backed up
is displayed. You can modify the path, as needed.

App_hang on splitting E-file transactionOS: Vista 64bit
I keep getting an app_hang when I try to split a downloaded transaction into
2 other split transactions. Specifically, the 2 splits are loan payments
(hence split into interest + principal) written on a single check. Whenever
I go to change the downloaded cleared check to reference the 2 seperate loan
payments, the application hangs. When I re-start money the transaction keeps
getting downloaded again and then hangs the app again when I try to split.
You should fix that :P

File I/O in Document/View architectureHello.
I'm trying to make a program that reads from a large file as needed,
putting data into structs then displaying the struct contents.
When I look at examples of File I/O, I have a problem. Where should the
I/O go?
To me, it makes sense to have the document handle anything relating to
file input, including a call to a CFileDialog class. This works fine
for me, but is it good practice to do that in the document rather than
the view?
I would not put File I/O(which changes the document) in a view. What
issues do you see if this is in the document? Document seems to be the
correct place...

NT Backup and other backup issuesI'm getting an error when I try to schedule a backup system every day at a
certain time. (0x8070005)
I'm using an Admin account. ???
Is there any software that can backup files without changing them into a
backup format?
If I have 1000 files in 100 folders I'd like to see 1000 files in 100
folders in the backup location.
Does any backup software do this?
And it would have to be done incrementally so you're not backing up the
same thing over and over for nothing.

opening files errorFor some reason, none of my Excel 2003 files will open when I double-click
them from a folder or desktop shortcut - the only way I can open a file is to
start Excel, click open and browse for the file I want.
As a side note, I was recently attempting to get my workbooks to open in
separate windows as opposed to multiple files open under the same heading -
i.e. I wanted each file to have it's own toolabar, etc. After reading several
discussion posts, I tried clicking Tools>Options>View>checking "Windows in

PST IssueGood Day,
We are running Office 2003 with exchange 2003 sp1.
Because of issues that we are having with our exchange database and backing
up. It was decided to off load older files to PST that is on a network
drive. They can access the pst files via the network and move email with
large attachments there.
Out of the blue a user called up saying that he lost some folders in the PST
I looked at it and assume that perhaps he deleted them without realizing it.
(I did a recovery that was 6 months old and the files were still not there).
I scratched this one up as user error.

Publisher 2007We just upgraded to Office 2007. In my old version of Publisher (2003), the
print settings I had assigned to each file were retained in that file--very
handy in Publisher as some of the print settings can get complex at times. I
print to a variety of different printers and have different settings for
print jobs going to each. It appears as if this feature is no longer present.
Is this true or is there some way to retain them? Setting manually can get
time-consuming. Any suggestions?
